Narrative

Employees were constructing a new refinery structure that is delivered to the site in sections referred to as modules. The modules consist of steel beams that are connected together and are then placed and connected to the overall structure. As the injured employee was placing a 86,000-pound module that was connected to a crane, the structural steel module moved into place. The employee's forearm was caught between the structure and the module, resulting in an avulsion and contusion.
